EDITORS COMMENTS
Courtesans of Tsuruya" is a stunning double-page illustration from the 1776 book "Mirror of Beautiful Women of the Pleasure Quarters" by the renowned Japanese artist Shunsho. This exquisite color woodblock print showcases a group of elegantly dressed courtesans from the Tsuruya district of Edo, Japan, during the eighteenth century. Each woman is depicted with a unique expression and pose, revealing their individual personalities. The courtesans are dressed in elaborate kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including pink and rose hues. Their clothing is accessorized with various items such as obi sashes, kanzashi hairpins, and fans. The artist, Shunsho, masterfully captures the essence of the courtesans' beauty and allure, making this print a valuable piece of artistic heritage. Shunsho was a prominent artist of the Katsukawa School, known for his innovative techniques and detailed depictions of women. This double-page illustration was likely cut from the book and serves as a standalone work of art, showcasing the artist's skill and creativity. The image invites us to look back into the past and appreciate the fashion, culture, and art of the Edo period in Japan. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic school's influence on Japanese art and literature, as well as the role of courtesans in Japanese society during the eighteenth century. It is a captivating and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of these beautiful and enigmatic women of the pleasure quarters.
